Hi,
I'm developing a RAP application which allows to draw automata.
The application is a porting of a PDE plugin. GEF & Draw2D are used in order to draw automata.
I'm trying to create a screenshot of one automaton. It looks like that RAP has no support for screenshot so I decided to write a plugin which uses html2canvas in order to get the screenshot.
I tested html2canvas outside RAP and it works well. In RAP it looks like it doesn't work.
I created a plugin which uses a Browser widget to open, inside an iframe, the page from which the following js code is called: in brief it tries to get the automaton div from the iframe parent (which is where the automaton is drawn) and then it calls html2canvas to create, inside the iframe, a canvas with the screenshot.
It succeeds in getting automaton div and calling html2canvas but no canvas will be created. html2canvas gets the following errors:

html2canvas: Preload starts: finding background-images html2canvas.js (riga 27)

	var canvas = document.getElementsByTagName('canvas')[0];

	try
	{
                //if a canvas exists then it is converted into a data URI.

			var h2cSelector = null;

			alert("xpath " +  canvasexp);

                        //select automaton div
			h2cSelector = [parent.document.evaluate(canvasexp, parent.document, null, XPathResult.ANY_TYPE, null).iterateNext()];

			if (typeof h2cSelector === "undefined") 
			{
				clearInterval(window.intervalID);

				alert("h2cSelector is undefined");

				return;
			}

	        	if (window.setUp) {
	        	    window.setUp();
	        	}	

                        //call html2canvas, a new CANVAS element should be created 
                        //inside the iframe
			$(h2cSelector).html2canvas({
                		flashcanvas: "./js/flashcanvas.min.js",
                		logging: true,
                		profile: true,
                		useCORS: true
            		});

		}catch(e)
		{
			alert("loadJS: " + e);
		}

		clearInterval(window.intervalID);
    };

    window.intervalID = setInterval(window.loadJS, 100);

    window.screenshotAlrm = setInterval(sendScreenshot2Client, 5000);
}(document,window));


If there is a better tool which allows to create a screenshot inside RAP then I will use it without any problem. At the moment this is the only "solution" which I have found.

I will appreciate any suggestion.

Thanks a lot.
